A Poem - When I Go

In my Daily Mail reading days, I know I know, I used to enjoy the daily poems. This one made me smile a lot and has been resident on my fridge ever since :)

When I GoI'm going to buy a crocodileAnd keep it at the zoo,Until I kick the bucket,Then here's what you must do.Don't bury or cremate me,Just feed me to the croc,I hope it won't upset you,It isn't meant to shock.It may sound unconventional,I hope it's not too gory,To make my plan successful,We must call the reptile Laurie.As St Peter takes my details,When I reach that Heavenly GateI can tell him without llying,I'm the Poet Laurie ate.by Hedley Metcalfe, Hebden Bridge, West Yorks
